"Give me your help, give me your way!"

When Yu Shiyue arrived at the Meridian Gate, she found an embarrassing problem and could not go back.

This place is more lively than the market. The inside and outside are all watched by the people.

"Don't squeeze, line up behind you!"

"That's right, do you understand what it means to come first and then arrive?"

The people on the outside came too late and did not take a good place. Seeing someone rushing forward, they were naturally reluctant.

Yu Shiyue squeezed for a long time, but found that she couldn't squeeze in at all. In desperation, she had to shout, "Let me in, I'm the presiding judge!"

Finally, some scholars in the crowd recognized Yu Shiyue and hurriedly called everyone to set out a way.

Yu Shiyue was calm and calm, and slowly stepped forward and bowed to the jury.

"Your Majesty, can you start?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I have said that the jury will only observe the trial and will not participate in the trial."

Yu Shiyue finally felt relieved and entered the seat with Xue and Yang.

Opposite the jury, a group of criminals led by Yan Shenggong were detained.

The three big guys exchanged glances, and then Yu Shiyue gently patted the auspicious wood: "Take Yan Shenggong to the court!"

The officer was ready, and before he finished speaking, he brought Yansheng Gong Kong Yanjin.

Since he came out of the imperial prison, Kong Yanjin's condition has recovered very well. Although he was wearing shackles and shackles, every step he took was a clamor, but he was full of energy and energy, which was completely different from his down-and-out appearance.

Some people couldn't help but swallow even more when they watched the crowd.

However, those ordinary people were puzzled when they saw someone wiping their tears.

Yu Shiyue thought about it, stood up again, saluted to the jury, "Report to the Emperor, Yan Shenggong is a great scholar of the world. He should not have been punished before he was convicted. I am ready..."

Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "I have said that if the jury does not participate in the trial, you should think that I do not exist. Just think that this is your office of the Ministry of Justice. How to judge on weekdays, how to judge today!"

Yu Shiyue then returned to her seat and said lightly: "Come on, remove the torture instruments!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, it was like a breeze, which immediately aroused the cheers of scholars outside.

In their opinion, Yu Shiyue is an image of not fearing power and daring to speak.

In fact, many people take this trick. No matter who is a person, no matter how high his position is, or what is not a thing, in fact, as long as he acts like a person who serves the people and is targeted at higher positions, people from ancient times to the present often show respect in their hearts.

The officers took off the shackles and shackles on Kong Yanjin's body, and then retreated aside.

Kong Yanjin bowed and cried, "Thank you, Lord Yu."

Yu Shiyue's face was gloomy and looked unwilling, saying, "Kong Yanjin, I have tried your case these days. All the cases have been seen. Your son-in-law Zhai Zongxi sells private salt. The evidence is conclusive and he should be executed according to the law. Naturally, the Yansheng Gong Mansion cannot escape. Now I will punish you for your fault. Can you accept the punishment?"

Kong Yanjin sighed and said, "It's really a misfortune for the family. This matter is indeed because I neglected to discipline and accept the punishment!"

Yu Shiyue continued, "After investigation, it was found that the female under the Kong family who was involved in a murderous crime and was disregarding human life was also a death sentence. As Yan Sheng Gong, this was a serious misunderstanding. Therefore, if you want to be severely punished, can you accept it?"

Kong Yanjin nodded and said, "Acknowledge the punishment!"

Yu Shiyue secretly glanced at the emperor, seemed to have no reaction, and continued, "As for what the Jinyiwei said, colluding with Bai Lian and deliberately treason, is this the case?"

Kong Yanjin was already crying: "No, it's unfair, I... it's so miserable..."

"Since I'm wronged, why did you confess your guilt?"

"If you don't plead guilty, you will be punished. I... can't stand it!"

Kong Yanjin recalled the days he was in the imperial prison and burst into tears.

It's really too cruel!

The teeth were all broken, and the bridge of the nose was broken.

If the Ministry of Justice does not intervene, I am afraid that my life will be ruined.

Seeing this, many people showed sympathy.

Yu Shiyue sighed and said, "The factory minister is like a tiger!"

Huai'en stood behind Zhu Qizhen and looked at Yu Shiyue resentfully.

The person was arrested by the Jinyiwei, and the case was tried by the Jinyiwei. What does it have to do with our Dongchang?

After sighing, Yu Shiyue raised his face again and said, "Since the facts are clear, then I will not go around the corner. There are many places in the files I have judged before, with unclear facts and insufficient evidence, and some are even more out of nothing. I think you are abiding by your duty and loyal to the court on weekdays. Now that I have suffered such a great injustice, I have suffered so much flesh and blood for no reason. I think you are pitiful and forgive you for your sins!"

Kong Yanjin only felt his mind buzzing, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

During the days in the imperial prison, he thought he was finished.

Unexpectedly, the turn of things took only a few days. It seems that the world is up to scholars after all.

Even the minister of justice should do everything possible to speak for himself and make excuses him.

Because, only in this way can he win over more scholars and consolidate his position.

Thank you for your ancestors and protecting the Kong family forever!

However, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but it soon disappeared.

Some things, as long as no one knows, can be regarded as never before.

Yu Shiyue said again: "Although you are not guilty, punishment is inevitable. I will enforce the law impartially and will never be lighter!"

Kong Yanjin bowed and said, "I am not strict in discipline, which has led to so many people who crow and thieves in the Confucius Mansion. I should be punished!"

"Okay, listen!"

Yu Shiyue looked at the emperor again, and saw that there was still no movement, so he plucked up his courage and said, "First, all the proceeds from Zhai Zongxi's selling of private salt were handed over to the state treasury. This official roughly calculated that it was about 200,000 taels of silver, and it must be handed over to all. Have you heard it clearly?"

Kong Yanjin was secretly happy. The money he earned through private salt business over the years was at least one million taels, and only 200,000 was really worth mentioning!

"After I return to Qufu, I immediately ordered someone to count the stolen silver and hand it over to the national treasury!"

Yu Shiyue nodded and said, "Secondly, all the servants involved in the Confucius Mansion were transferred to the Qufu County Government and investigated according to the law. The losses of the victim's family and the pension of the deceased will be borne by the Confucius Mansion. In addition, if these people have children and nephews of the right age in their families, they will all be sent to the Confucius Mansion for study until they become adults. Do you have any objections to such a punishment?"

When Kong Yanjin heard this, he burst into tears. The humiliation and resentment he had suffered these days were now vented.

"Thank you, Lord Yu, I am willing to be punished, and I have no objection!"

Seeing him wiped his tears, the onlookers felt even more sympathetic. Although Kong Yanjin was in Qufu, his image here was a poor scholar who was persecuted, with no power to tie a chicken and miserable.

Yu Shiyue felt that his goal had been achieved and that if he helped Yan Shenggong, he could get the support of scholars all over the world.

As long as everyone unites, even if the new policy is issued, it will be just a piece of waste paper and has no effect.

However, what puzzled him was that he blatantly overturned the verdict for Yan Shenggong, so why didn't the emperor ignore it?

Judging from the situation of the morning court, the emperor was determined to punish Yan Shenggong's crime, but why did he suddenly ignore it?

During the interrogation process, he even made complete preparations. As long as the emperor intervened in the case, there would be a lot of reasons waiting. However, the emperor was silent and confused.

Things are very strange...

Yu Shiyue looked at each other with confusion, but found that Xue and Yang were similar to him, with a little confusion in his eyes.

However, the three of them quickly reached a consensus. Since the emperor has not imposed intervention and the case has not been closed, when will he wait?

Yu Shiyue picked up the gavel and threw it gently, and said, "Okay, I announce..."

"let

Let me tell you, the Jinyiwei handles the case, please let me go!"

Suddenly, there were bursts of noise coming from the outside of the crowd.

When Yu Shiyue heard the words "Jinyiwei" and subconsciously raised her head, she happened to see the Jinyiwei School Captain in Soap Clothing escort escorting a group of criminals to the scene in the crowd.

"This is the prison hall of the Three Laws. What does the Jinyiwei mean?"

When he saw the Jinyiwei appear again, Yu Shiyue had already felt that the situation was not good, so he was ready to take action. This is my territory, and he is not allowed to come when he doesn’t call you!

On the Jinyiwei side, Zhu Ji led the team.

"These are suspects brought from Qufu. I heard that Lord Yu is here to try the case, so let's try together!"

"snort!"

Yu Shiyue snorted coldly: "Will the Jinyiwei also need the Jinyiwei to point fingers when the Three Laws are tried?"

"ah……"

Suddenly, Kong Yanjin shouted.

He pointed at a person covered in blood and messy hair in the crowd, trembling and speechless.

The man suffered all the torture on the way he came and almost lost half his life. When he saw Kong Yanjin, he immediately got up excitedly.

"Father, it's me, my father!"

This person is Kong Yanjin's eldest son, Kong Chengqing.

Kong Yanjin looked at another criminal again. Although his whole body was covered in blood, he could still vaguely see that he was also a child of the Confucius Mansion and the current magistrate of Qufu Kong Chengping.

In addition to these two brothers, there were also servants from the Confucius Mansion such as Zhao Quan, or servants and clerks from the county government office. There were about a hundred people in total, just like moving the Yansheng Gong Mansion.
